"The cost of prevention is significantly lower than the cost of a failed assignment."

01 — The Challenge

Assignments fail before anyone notices.

74%

of all international assignment failures are attributed to family and partner adjustment difficulties — not job performance. The most cited cause across every industry.

Dual Pressure Trap

International assignments require extraordinary levels of focus and energy at work, challenging the executive's private environment.

The compound effect: When cultural misalignment amplifies, international leaders face a double bind: family pressure and performance pressure — both escalating simultaneously.

"The earliest risks are personal — but the consequences become organizational."

02 — The Program

A preventive intervention, not a crisis response.

Built Trust

Confidence is built early — through certified, experienced coaches and a transparent, structured process. Visible progress from the first sessions builds trust in both the people delivering the programme and its outcomes.

→

Know Thyself

Structured self-reflection paired with relational work — helping individuals and couples recognise their own patterns, needs and triggers, and how these shape the relationship under the pressure of relocation.

→

Experience Emotions

Emotional processing through embodied, practical exercises — not conversation alone. Hands-on practices that help participants access, express and integrate emotions that words can't always reach.

→

03 — Evidence

The business case is clear.

Approximately 40% of international assignments fail, with partner and family dissatisfaction identified as one of the leading causes. Research suggests that up to 74% of failed assignments are linked to partner unhappiness, putting nearly 30% of all assignments at risk. The cost of a failed assignment is estimated at €400,000–1.25 million.
